About

Cities don’t need another dashboard; they need proof a change will work.
Darkonium AI is a simulation-first digital twin studio for operations at street level: bus and tram headways, depot shift planning, waste-collection routing, port/last-mile logistics, and event crowd resilience.
In a 2-week Digital Twin Sprint, we ingest your constraints—timetables, layover rules, union shifts, yard geometry, EV charge windows—then run thousands of scenarios to find the plan that cuts delays, energy and overtime while keeping safety and compliance intact. You get a KPI pack and an implementation roadmap; we stay on site to make it stick.
Team: UKRI/UKSA assessor founder with 20 years in simulation & optimisation, plus Andrew King (ex-Cavendish Nuclear/NNL/Terrestrial/Nuvia) for high-integrity delivery.
Ask: 3 pilot cities or agencies for Q4–Q1 (transit/waste/events). Let’s prove impact in weeks, not years.

Brella / brokerage profile (≤140 chars)

Simulation-first digital twins for transit, waste & events. 2-week sprint to cut delays, energy & overtime. Pilots wanted (city ops & integrators).

“What we do” bullets (submission form)

  • Transit & depot: headways, layovers, shift & yard optimisation

  • Waste & fleet: dynamic routing, EV charge windows, depot turns

  • Events & safety: crowd flow, egress, disruption playbooks

  • Method: 2-week sprint → thousands of scenarios → KPI plan → on-site rollout
